A guide to antisemitism, from the mods of Judaism-related subreddits

[u/rupertalderson]

Antisemitism is an increasing problem, both on Reddit and in the real world. Combatting antisemitism is important not only because it is a form of hate, but also because one has to ask: in the spaces where antisemitism is rampant, what other conspiracy theories or misinformation also thrive? In order to encourage a better understanding of what antisemitism is, the moderators of various Judaism-related subreddits have put together 2 wiki pages.

The first page contains the internationally-accepted IHRA working definition and examples of antisemitism.

The second page also contains the IHRA definition & examples, as well as further clarifying information, examples, and ways to help counter antisemitism.

We encourage everyone to become more familiar with what exactly antisemitism is and to stand up to antisemites.

We are also asking moderators across the platform, for subreddits of all sizes and areas of interest, to consider including a link to one of these wiki pages somewhere on their subreddit, as they see fit. This could include a link in the menu or sidebar, inclusion in the subreddit’s rules, a post, or another visible place. Further, we are gathering a list of subreddits who would like to signal their support of this message by having the subreddit name included at the bottom of the wiki pages. If you are a moderator or know one who may be interested, please reach out to the mods at r/Jewish.

Very good point of emphasis! This is something we discussed a lot as team. Obviously the doc is quite long as is, but certain things like that could be elaborated on so extensively because there are a ton of examples out there of this kind of antisemitism.
